WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Clean the carbs. Remove jets and clean with brake cleaner. Check float levels Inspect choke tube. If that get's done and you still have issues....delete TORS and do a leak check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokeVW Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I hav not checked the choke tube but i will because im gonna replace it with a choke tube off of an old carb because the choke tube on it now u have to hold it out thank you all. I thought he meant the choke connector between the 2 carbs, not the actual choke plunger. If the choke plunger is not staying pulled out, the spring is pulling it shut again because the small clip that fits into the grooves on the shaft is no longer fitting the grooves and failing to act as a detent to hold the choke open against the spring pressure. The link isn't working right, it should jump immediately to the 2:48 mark in the video so start the video then jump to 2:48 to see the choke spring and detent explanation....

Jereme6655 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 depending on the pipe, elevation, and temp combo.....you'd be looking more like a 280-290s area. If it really is ported.....well then you're gonna need more on top of that. Not to mention that when running aftermarket pipes, most require a 27.5 pilot jet to keep it running correctly on the low end of the rev range. hell Im running a dune/play port from jeff at FAST with fmf fatties, pod filters, and 20cc domes and im running, 27.5 pilots and 340 main jets.

MarineNYC Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 On unported motor I was running 310 mains 30 pilot @ sea level. Think you need to bump those jets up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
